# Worked headshot review record

Date: October 22, 2026
Subject: AI-generated fictional adult, not a real member's profile photo
Tool: Built-in image generation/editing in Codex; model identifier not exposed
Attempts: one source generation and one background edit
Scope: one background-only request; not a benchmark of ChatGPT app versions or the guide's 25 prompts

## Source and requested change

- Source: headshot-review-source.webp, 1254 x 1254
- Candidate: headshot-review-candidate.webp, 1254 x 1254
- Change: beige wall and plant to neutral gray studio background
- Preserve: face, expression, freckles, skin texture, curls, glasses, earrings, shirt, pose, lighting and framing

## Actual observations

- Background: gray replaced beige and the plant.
- Broad details: glasses, navy neckline, earrings and main curl silhouette remain similar.
- Fine detail: forehead/cheek texture appears re-rendered.
- Exact-pixel check: original PNGs are not identical in the central rectangle x=451, y=363, width=351, height=451. This is not an identity or similarity score.
- Small display: both images retain readable eyes, glasses and main hair silhouette in 96 CSS-pixel circles. Fine texture differences are harder to judge at that size.
- Decision: retain as a background style candidate, not as proof of an unchanged face. A real subject's approval remains necessary for an actual portrait.
